I appreciate you for gifting us a peak into your life. Altough the past can't be changed, I am certain your story will impact the future of many. Thank you for sharing, I hope you find love which you so thoroughly deserve.
You finding creative and honest ways to share your lived experience inspired so much hope in me. Things like this are so isolating. Thank you for continuing on <3
I did not know what to expect from this game as most of the material doesn't relate to me. It was in browser so I thought why not try it. It sheds a little bit of light on what I don't know about sex work, how people start it and the feelings behind it. However, one line hit me really hard "I wanted to be clean again" and I cried. Thank you for your story.
I didnt intend to play this game, but I started it nonetheless, and couldnt stop till end. Really good job there. Great writing and concise thoughts-gathering. Empowring.
Many have said thank you and I'm not going to be less. I haven't lived any even remotely similar experience.
I had something to say about myself but there maybe ain't even words to describe whatever happened on this side.
Thank you, again.
Also this is an incredible piece about how criminalization ruins people's lives. Sorry for breaking the mood of the entire comment up there, but I've seen so many lifes going to absolute hell through the work of my parents on healthcare just cuz it's really hard to talk about -anything- remotely related to illegality without getting backslashed to nothingness and seen as some kind of pariah. I just hope the world either evolves into a kinder place or burns down on it's entirety every single time I think about this.
Anyways, yeah, will have a severe change of tone and overall thinking methods around sex work after this, on a level of philosphy, morals and logistics (besides whatever happened to me for the rest of the entire thing).
Really good game! I love the sincerity, it's like I'm reading a diary and feeling the deepest emotions of someone who is open to tell everything about itself, even those things that hurts.
I finished the game, I think it's really important we share our stories. i think trans narratives in media so often fail to authentically capture the experience. there's so much shame and trauma along the path for so many of us. this game touched me, I'm proud of you for opening up. thank you for sharing.
Played through. You and your story are worth knowing, and you did a great job putting it together in this game. Whatever you do from now on, I hope you know that a bunch of people on the internet appreciate you.
Only being able to imagine the ammount of effort and pain this must've taken to make, I thank you for making and sharing such a personal and honest game.
taylor, thank you for making this game and thank you for all of the work you do to build community among queer game developers. the game is so beautifully made & i feel lucky to have played it.
Probably the most human game I've ever played. Not just an amazing example of what indie games can be, but an experience that I am going to think about for a long time to come.
thank you for taking the time to put this game together, I played all the way through and I see and understand many of the traumas laid out here. I hope you are finding the space to heal where you can, where each of us holding pieces of similar shapes to your own are finding our ways as well.
I have to say I've never understood sex work as an asexual, respected it and think it should be respected/protected definitely, but this game showed a different side to it. I think friends in the past glorified it especially since they were young, underage and dumb. Almost like sally but in a digital way. Obviously as the creator stated we still respect sex work, the game is just showing her experience. The game is amazingly made, love the graphics and the story is heartbreaking. I hope this was a way to help heal her trauma and hope she's doing better!
I can't begin to tell you how much of your story resonated with me. I'm afraid to even let on how much of it I could relate to. But I just wanted you to know that you're not alone and if nothing else, through sharing our stories, maybe we can make things better for people like us. Thank you for this.
Thank you so much for telling your story, hit very close to home for me in a lot of ways. I really admire your strength in being able to put this together and I hope this finds you well. One of the most powerful games I've ever played
I'm honestly completely speechless. I don't know what to say, but I feel like I needed this. Thank you for telling your story and making your voice be heard.
I am so privileged to live in Canada where I never had to make the choice between transition or necessities. This story is so touching and heart-rending. I sincerely hope you find yourself in a good place where you can be comfortable in your transition and you can process your trauma in a way that will leave you feeling whole again. I wish you all the best, please reach out if you need support.
I don't think I've every played a game quite as personal as this one. I'm not sure how to put into words how much I love that it exists. Thank you for making this.
I don't miss this life, but knowing there are others moving forward is helping me do the same. This hit really close to home but I'm so thankful you did this. You're amazing. Thank you.
I saw this game on steam when going to games tagged female protag. it looked interesting and i thought id be able to handle it so i came and found the itch page for it well hell was i wrong. i wasn't able to finish the game and i honestly at least where im at currently in my life don't think id be able to. i tried to write more than this but im currently trying to keep myself from crying bc this game just made me stop ignoring some of my problems ive had going on for years along with just more recent stuff that's happened in the last few months.
I haven't finished it because I think it glitched out when I played it, but I really think that this was well made. You are so brave for telling a story like this, and just good job with the game over all.

"proudest nut i've busted"

You are brave. I can't really comment on the thing I often can't describe deep stuff.
all I will say is if you are in the right place download this game
